In this lesson plan on addition and subtraction equations, 1st graders will learn to identify the equal sign and will practice balancing equations.

Use your quick thinking and addition math skills to play this math racing game.

This activity helps with understanding how to balance an algebraic equation. You input the term and the operation. The activity uses that term, operates on both sides of the equation, then displays the resulting equation.

Sixth graders work with the concept of equality and balance to solve one and two-step algebraic equations.

Solve simple linear equations using a balance beam. Replicate the given equation by moving the blocks of X and 1 to the sides of the balance scale. Then use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to each side to solve for x.

Students choose the correct number to balance the addition equation and create an equivalent sum.
